NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. - June 8, 2010 - The TriZetto Group, Inc. today announced that Health Plan of San Joaquin (HPSJ), a community plan with more than 100,000 members, is implementing TriZetto’s QNXTTM 4.7 enterprise administration system. The new platform will help the payer organization further improve administrative efficiency, support expansion of its commercial business, scale to significant membership growth and enable compliance with HIPAA 5010, ICD-10 and other regulatory mandates.

“TriZetto’s QNXT system will position us to take advantage of opportunities presented by healthcare reform,” said John Hackworth, Ph.D., chief executive officer of HPSJ. “One such opportunity will be insurance exchanges, and the QNXT platform’s demonstrated strength in both commercial and Medicaid lines of business will enable us pursue this emerging opportunity while continuing to improve the administrative efficiency of our established group and state-sponsored products, as well as our third-party administration services.

“With our continued focus on the diversification of our product mix and a vision toward capitalizing on healthcare reform opportunities, we expect to more than double our membership, and we know TriZetto’s QNXT system can scale to support this growth,” Hackworth added. “TriZetto will not only ease our 5010 and ICD-10 migrations, but enable us to use these migrations to make broader, strategic improvements in benefits and care administration.”

“TriZetto’s QNXT platform is a demonstrated leader in Medicaid administration and so is well suited to HPSJ, the leading Medi-Cal managed care plan in San Joaquin County,” said Rob Scavo, president of emerging markets at TriZetto. “Plus, our QNXT application will offer unequaled support to HPSJ as it expands its commercial lines of business.”

Scavo added that news of the HPSJ contract continues TriZetto’s rapid growth in the community health plan market. “The broad functionality, scalability and attractive price point of our QNXT product helps these payer organizations compete with their larger counterparts on a more level playing field and leverage their nimbleness and local presence to win.”
